Description:

The School of Literatures, Languages, and Cultures at The University of Edinburgh is accepting applications for the scholarship funded under the auspices of the Mobility and Inclusion in Multilingual Europe (MIME) project, a major inter-university research project involving over twenty European universities, and funded by the European Commission. 

The MIME project is a multidisciplinary one which will consider the nature of language policies which serve to promote both greater mobility in Europe, particularly (but not limited to) mobility of people, but also contribute to social and other forms of societal cohesion. For more information about the MIME project, visit website:
http://www.mime-project.org/

Duties and Responsibilities:
The research conducted by the successful applicant will feed into Work Package 5, 'Policy', and in particular will provide insights of relevance to the assessment of the legal implications of the language policy options emerging from MIME research, and especially the limitations which legal norms may impose on language policy choices. Because of the focus on mobility, it is expected that the researcher will consider legal norms relating to immigration (and naturalisation), the regulation of cross-border trade in goods and services, the regulation of entry into trades and professions, marketing of goods and services, and terms of sale of goods and services. Because of the focus on cohesion and, indeed, integration, it is expected that the researcher will consider norms relating to non-discrimination and equality, but perhaps also those relating to education, regulation of the media, and so forth. It is expected that the student would consider relevant international norms—particularly those of the European Union and the Council of Europe—but also of at least one relevant national (and perhaps one subnational) jurisdiction.

How to Apply:
Any enquiries with regard to the scholarship, or the proposed research, can be directed to Prof. Robert Dunbar (tel.: +44-(0)131-650-3621, email: rob.dunbar at ed.ac.uk). 

Application Deadline: 22-Dec-2014
